I am happy to announce that my video for NSERC's Science, Action! competition has been selected as one of the top 15 finalists and awarded a $2,500 prize! The winnings from this competition will help to support my research and the dissemination of my findings at several conferences this summer. A big thank you to everyone who watched and helped to share my research with a wider audience! If you are curious about how social interactions can be important for a solitary species, I encourage you to watch my 1-min video clip! More information can be found on my research page or by reading some of my publications.

I am thrilled to have been selected by the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) to receive the Anna M. Jackson award! I look forward to presenting my research about the importance of long-term social relationships for red squirrel fitness during the opening plenary session at ASM's 2018 annual meeting in Manhattan, Kansas! Thanks ASM for your continued support of young scientists!
